[-- Attachment #1 --] [this was posted under another thread, so I am reposting as a new thread to hopefully generate some responses. thanks.] I am no programmer, so forgive my ignorance in that respect, but why can't a metric be used to differentiate routes to the same destination network within the routing table? I happened to be googling and found: http://daily.daemonnews.org/view_story.php3?story_id=3878 which describes a patch to -STABLE that does exactly what I am talking about. Is there any reason why this shouldn't be implemented by default in the OS? I am not being critical of the FreeBSD operating system by any means, just curious. Personally, I would very much like the ability of Zebra to feed the kernel the same route via multiple gateways, differentiating those routes by metric value.
